We use potatoes A LOT! For our GARLIC MASHED POTATOES, our SCALLOPED POTATOES AND ONIONS and tons of other POTATO DISHES. So I sometimes feel like I am always peeling potatoes.

I am not a fan of food waste so I am always looking for ways to use the ingredient as a whole.

I am a huge proponent of making broth with chicken bones and you may or may not be able to find an eerie little bag in my freezer full of chicken bones. Anyway, back to the potato peels!

How to make Potato Peels into Chips!

~ Ingredients ~

• The peelings from 4 medium potatoes. (At least 1-2 inches long.)
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 1 teaspoon Sea Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 1 teaspoon Lawry’s Seasoning Salt

~ Method ~

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil. Toss potato peelings with olive oil and half of salt, pepper and seasoning salt. Spread in a single layer on prepared baking sheet.

Tips and Tricks

Can I use Sweet Potato Peels too?

You sure can. You can make these the same way or even sweeten them up with brown sugar or other sweet spices like cinnamon.

Can I make these in the Air fryer?

You can do them the same way and cook them at 400 degrees in the air fryer for about 10-15 minutes shaking half way through.

How to store

After cooling, store in an airtight container for up to a week. You can crisp back up on low heat in the air fryer or oven to reheat and serve.

What makes these Potato Peel Chips so good?

I am of the opinion it is their simplicity that makes them taste even better. The fact that nothing was wasted is an added bonus for me.

These are great alone for a tailgate party or you can use them for a side to these great Sheet Pan Bacon Cheeseburger sliders. You can even mix up the sauce you use for the sliders and use it as a dip for these Potato Peel Chips!
